Men and Beer

I know that I have a tendency to blog about beer quite often. But men like beer...its that simple.

Nobody does it better than the brew mavens across the pond at BrewDog. They make sick beer...double true. Check the latest video which happens to be about their most recent collaboration with SoCal brewers, Stone Brewery.



God I love beer.

Brew Wars, World's Strongest Beer

In recent months there has been an all-out-war between two breweries trying to make/market/sell the world's strongest beer. And it comes as no surprise to readers who's side I am on...BrewDog!!!

Here's the short and sweet of it (with videos to fill in the gaps):

1. German brewer Schorschbrau made a beer at 31% alcohol...strongest in the world.
2. Scottish craft beer BrewDog takes that as a challenge and swiftly produces Tactical Nuclear Penguin at 32%.

3. Schorschbrau responds by pumping out a batch of 39.44% and takes it to market labeling it as 40%...which is a bit of an overstatement in the ABV game.



4. BrewDog grits its teeth and produces a 41% called Sink The Bismark that hits the beer world with surprisingly great reviews. This beer rocks.

For what its worth...I love BrewDog and everything they stand for. I welcome Sink The Bismark into my life eagerly and you should too. Do it. Find it. Drink it.

And if You Like Strong Beer

The world's strongest beer has been released "Tactical Nuclear Penguin". Now there's a name that says it all...um yeah.

Produced by a controversial UK brewery BrewDog, the 32% ABV imperial stout was aged for 16 months in Isle of Arran whiskey casks then stored at -20 degrees for 3 weeks.

BrewDog’s MD James Watt said:

"This beer is about pushing the boundaries; it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level. It is about achieving something which has never before been done and putting Scotland firmly on the map for progressive, craft beers."

At roughly $18 per bottle, the price tag seems worth it. You'll only need 1 bottle to plastered!

And...if you like this beer you now have the opportunity to own part of the company. This video tells all:
